Despite Fed Chair's promise, no names of borrowers or amounts of loans have been revealed

‘The Primary Dealer Credit Facility and Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility showed up on the Fed’s balance sheet on March 25 of this year, with balances of $27.7 billion and $30.6 billion, respectively. As of yesterday, the Fed showed the following balances for those two programs: $7.5 billion and $36.4 billion, respectively.

“But when the Fed released its March 25 and April 24 reports on these two programs, there was not a scintilla of information on the names of borrowers or amounts borrowed.”

NOTE: These are not CARES Act Facilities but ones the Fed set up on its own under 13(3) prior to CARES enactment.
